Be careful on this one ladies. I am extremely skeptical when it comes to purchasing dresses online but this one I jumped to in a second, especially b/c the reviews were pretty good. I bought the green which is pretty, although it doesn't seem as vibrant in person as it looks online.The sizing was right on for me. I know several of the other reviews said to go larger, for me I didn't need it at all. An 8 fit just like I hoped it would.If you are short this is def NOT for you. I thought it would fall around my knee's, not even close. It was half way to my feet. I am 5'3''. Also, the ruching is extremely high on the waist, and it just doesnt work on a short torso like mine.If you are tall and have a longer waist than this would work just fine- if you want to hide some problem area's it would do the job as well.I felt that it made my petite body look like a big green blimp! The return was easy though!
